"Much as been made recently of Obama being better on National Security than Romney, mostly having to do with the killing of Bin Laden occurring while he was golfing currently occupying the position of President. But isn't the number one threat to our National Security our growing, out of control debt? Back in 2010, the Chairman, Joint Chiefs Of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen Thought So. So how does the President handle our number one National Security threat? Why, He Blows Off A Mandated Deadline To Detail The Defense Spending Cuts that are required for sequestration. And why exactly are we left with sequestration? Because the President's own party has failed to pass a budget in over 3 years and Obama essentially killed The Debt Deal With Boehner. The President's National Security policies seem to be Taking The Easier Path To A Worse Place. 

The most important national security problem facing our nation -- the crushing load of debt that will crowd out discretionary spending by our government -- was addressed in the context of cutting military spending. The president who has doubled our national debt in three years now claims "I will use the money we're no longer spending on war to pay down our debt and put more people back to work rebuilding roads and bridges and schools and runways, because after two wars that have cost us thousands of lives and over a trillion dollars, it's time to do some nation building right here at home." That is, defense is the bill payer for his domestic programs. He claimed "I'm still eager to reach an agreement based on the principles of my bipartisan debt commission," but he has taken no action at all to bring the Simpson-Bowles Commission's recommendations into effect -- they weren't in his budget, they weren't in his proposals during the debt limit negotiations last summer."
